A statistical method for tuning a computer code to a data base. (English) Zbl 1077.62547

Comput. Stat. Data Anal. 37, No. 1, 77-92 (2001).
Summary: A statistical procedure is described for estimation of unknown parameters (constants) in a complex computer model from an observational or experimental data base. The approach provides accuracy assessments of the estimates. An application is given to a computer code which models nuclear fusion reactors.
